A report that some of you may find quite interesting. Visit the authoring institution here: www.futureofed.org
What caught my eye i this excellent source of inspiration -- and which will be a theme in a coming Future Learning Lab workshop for sure, was this:
"Over the next decade, the most vibrant innovations in education are likely to take place outside traditional institutions. These institutions face
a critical dilemma: how to reconcile bottom-up developments in educational with the traditional top-down hierarchy that is currently in place.
This 2020 Forecast illuminates how we are shifting toward a culture of creation in which each of us has the opportunity—and the responsibility— to make our collective future. We are seeing “educitizens” define their rights as learners and re-create the civic sphere. Networked artisans and ad hoc factories are democratizing manufacturing and catalyzing new local economies. These creators are highlighting the significance of cooperation and cross-cultural intelligence for citizenship and economic leadership.
Together, these forces are pushing us to create the future of learning as an ecosystem, in which we have yet to determine the role of educational institutions as we know them today."
